activities.

the means necessary to undertake the project.
8. Budget
An itemized summary of an organization's
expected income and expenses over a specified
period of time.

9. Monitoring and evaluation

The basis for monitoring is set when
the indicators for results are set.
The project proposal should indicate: how and
when the project management team will conduct
activities to monitor the project’s progress; which
methods will be used to monitor and evaluate;
and who will do the evaluation.
10. Management and personnel
- A brief description should be given of the project
personnel, the individual roles each one has
assumed, and the communication mechanisms
that exist between them.
• A proposal is an essential marketing document that helps
cultivate an initial professional relationship between an
organization and a donor over a project to be
implemented.
• A proposal facilitates appropriate words for the
conception of an idea.
• The proposal has a framework that establishes ideas
formally for a clear understanding of the project for the
donor.
• Successful proposals mean financial aid for the
organization to grow for the replication of project and
ideas.
1. Planning problems: Although a good idea
exists, yet when we try to plan it out
extensively, we face many unexpected
challenges
2.There are often tight deadlines, and
proposals may be rejected
